Universal Peace

TODAY'S QUOTE:
"For peace of mind, we need to resign as general manager of the universe."... Larry Eisenberg

Imagining that we can control the universe is flawed thinking in the extreme. Fantasizing that we have command of much of anything not inside our personal orbit is a delusion, pure and simple. The fact that someone tells you how to tend your biscuits doesn't give them any real power. But when you begin blindly following instructions it elects them biscuit king and bread lords can be ever so regal.

But land sakes, don't some folks just think they're in charge of every damn thing? They have an opinion of how every thing is done... and it just isn't ever how you're doing it! And, God Bless them they don't hold anything back, though I'm certain nobody bothers to ask them much of anything after even a small dose of their criticism.

Truly I believe most people don't mean to offend, they really imagine they're preforming an important service. But we censure each other too damn often, and with too little right to say anything in the first place. I've made it my business to keep MOST of my point making issues confined to things of some real import. I mean honestly, I just cannot make myself give a shit about how others dress... or do their hair... or who did what to whom.

And he said, she said is totally wasted on me. I hate gossip, don't hear it, speak it, or tolerate it. I've got better things to do. I'm much too busy making my own mistakes and calling myself an idiot to spread the dread anywhere else. Why would I want to? And you shouldn't want to either. Think about it.... let it ride.... then decide!!!!!

    You cannot fake a relationship and feel right with yourself or anyone else. Changing yourself to fit what you think other people want doesn’t work. Pretending to be someone other than yourself only broadens the distance between the person you are and the people with whom you’re trying to establish closeness. Just be true to who you are, show others the choices you have made work for you. The idea may just catch on in all types of relationships we all have in our lives.What a concept!!!!
